20 Years
Come join us this year as we celebrate 20 years of creating brighter futures!
Starting with one volunteer project in 2002, we have grown over two decades into an organisation reaching over 900,000 people across Kericho county with life changing programmes bringing better health, education and sustainable livelihoods.
It has been and continues to be a spectacular journey with over 40 local staff and nearly 3,000 volunteers in Kenya, 758 Irish and international volunteers who have travelled to Kenya to volunteer and hundreds of volunteers in Ireland and around the world who support our work in many different ways.
We call it a journey … and we welcome you to join us on this year’s leg of that journey. Every month we will host an event, a mixture of virtual and physical, we will invite you to join in on our social media and via our e-newsletters.
Here is a rough schedule of how the event calendar is looking…
| January | Get fit | Pilates class online |
| February | Get cooking | Cooking demonstration |
| March | Get your feet tapping | Live Irish music session for the month that’s in it! |
| April | Get growing | How to grow your own! |
| May | Get walking virtually | Learn about the Flora of Irish mountains |
| June | Get listening | An evening with ‘a special guest’ |
| July | Get traveling | Dream of Africa talk on climbing mountains |
| August | Get walking for real | Our annual mountain challenge is on August 13th – this year we are aiming for 20 events around Ireland and the world! |

| October | Get creative | Anyone for cocktails? |
| November | Get crafting | Who makes those fabulous Kenyan nativity sets and decorations? |
| December | Get singing | Anyone for carol signing? |
Contact us for dates and walk our social media.
Each event will include input from our staff and volunteers in Kenya with stories about the work we do and the impact it has on communities across Kericho county.
Plans don’t stop here … we are also looking at holding an exhibition, publishing a book, commissioning a piece of music … the list along with the journey continues!
Please join us!
